Answer 2

Although Y breaks no rule of Part 2, she fails to sail clear as soon as possible. In
position 1 she is able to slow down, fall astern of both B and A and then sail
clear.

Penalize Y under rule D2.3(e).

Question 3

When is a boat subject to rule 22.2?

Answer 3

Rule 22.2 begins to apply when a boat is clearly turning in order to take a
penalty. It ceases to apply when the boat completes the last required tack or
gybe or when she stops taking her penalty before it is complete.

Question 4

When can the umpires take action against a boat that has failed to take a penalty
correctly?

Answer 4

The umpires can take action under rule D2.3 against a boat that has failed to take
a penalty correctly when

(a) the boat indicates she will take a penalty and then fails to do so,
(b) the penalty was initiated by the umpires, or
(c) the umpires decide the failure was a breach of sportsmanship.

A right-of-way boat that is sailing to get clear retains right of way until rule
22.2 starts to apply to her. A boat that interferes with another boat while sailing
clear, when she has a clear alternative, does not sail clear as soon as possible.
